December is the last month of the year, and is often a good time to reflect on the past year and think about the upcoming year. So, for this month’s question, “When reflecting on this year, what has gone well, and what would you do differently?”, tell us what went well for you, and why; and feel free to share with us any experiences that you learned from that will affect how you might do them differently in the future.

Post your responses to the SQL Server Question of the Month in the comments section below (at www.bradmcgehee.com if you are viewing this from a syndicated newsfeed). And don’t forget to enter your e-mail address when you post your response, so I can contact you if you win.

Because there is no right or wrong answer, this month’s winner will be selected randomly from all the entries that are received.
